Huangxiu

Chapter 645 Bribery
He put down the silk book and looked at the crescent moon in the night sky thoughtfully.

The sky is full of stars and the crescent moon is like a hook.

This crescent moon seems to be floating in the clouds, casting its cool and brilliant light on the world.

The entire imperial city was bathed in clear light.

The bright light cannot soothe the noise of the world.

The noise in the distance makes the small courtyard seem especially quiet.

He couldn't help but wonder what Xiao Ruoling was doing at this moment, was she concentrating on practicing?

Are you still practicing Taiyin Da Lianxing now? Do you still need to judge the astrology?

My thoughts couldn't help but continue to wander.

The location of Xuanyin Palace is similar to Daguangming Peak. It is a holy place for cultivation and has more abundant spiritual energy.

There are also records of Xuanyin Palace in the ancient Gouxuanlu.

In ancient times, there was a large sect named Taixuan Palace. Later, Taixuan Palace split and was almost destroyed due to civil war. The remaining disciples rebuilt it and changed its name to Xuanyin Palace, which has been passed down to this day.

The Xuanyin Palace lineage has a deep foundation, far beyond the comparison of ordinary sects.

The four major sects of the Yujing Dynasty were all derived from ancient sects.

"Aunt." Chu Zhiyuan said loudly.

Youlan was looking through the account books in the west wing and came out when she heard the words.

Her hair was disheveled, and she was wearing a loose white dress that made her look petite and delicate, not as capable as usual. Her bright eyes and white teeth made her look a few years younger, and it was obvious that she usually dressed in a mature way.

Under the cold moonlight, she looked more feminine and charming: "Your Highness?"

"Aunt, do you know the divine text?"

"Divine writing... the writing of the ancient gods?"

"Well, does Auntie recognize you?"

"The ancient sacred text has been lost. I have never heard of anyone who can understand it."

“It’s lost…”

Chu Zhiyuan sighed.

With the demise of the gods, the loss of the divine writings became inevitable.

Once a language loses its users, it loses its vitality and is bound to disappear.

Chu Zhiyuan asked: "There is no written record?"

"I'll go and find out tomorrow."

"…Forget it. I'll ask Uncle Fifteen."

Youlan nodded, without asking him why he wanted to know the divine text, and only said: "Your Highness, it's getting late, you should rest."

"Yeah." Chu Zhiyuan put the book down, stood up and stretched, his energy and spirit relaxed: "Aunt, take a rest too, don't hurt your eyes."

Youlan smiled and agreed, and went back to the west wing gracefully.

Chu Zhiyuan picked up the silk book and went into his bedroom. He placed the book on the desk, sat cross-legged on the bed, and began to practice the Sutra of Infinite Light.

After being exhausted, he fell asleep.

When I woke up again, I was in a trance and didn't feel the time passing. A whole night had already passed.

He opened his eyes and Xiao Zhu and the others helped him wash and have breakfast, and then he entered the Daguangming Peak.

When he entered the Great Light Peak, there were still two middle-aged inner court guards waiting there, guarding him until he reached the Qingfeng Cliff.

When Chu Zhiyuan sat cross-legged on the warm jade cushion, he said calmly: "You two have listened to the instructions of the eldest brother, right?"

The two were startled.

Chu Zhiyuan chuckled: "What benefits did Big Brother give you?"

"Your Highness the Ninth Prince has misunderstood!"

"Forget it. I won't force you to do anything." Chu Zhiyuan said calmly, "Big Brother is really a thoughtful person. ... Just follow my instructions and tell me what you want to say."

He closed his eyes as he spoke.

The two inner court guards looked at each other with serious expressions.

They did receive orders from the eldest prince. If there was any disturbance, they should report it to the Prince's Mansion and they would be handsomely rewarded.

If they were ordinary princes, they would just do things perfunctorily, pretend to be deaf and dumb, and try not to get involved in the disputes among the princes.

But the eldest prince is different.

The eldest prince's power is deeply rooted in the palace because he is the queen's legitimate son.

If they do things half-heartedly, they are likely to be held accountable later and get into trouble.

Chu Zhiyuan knew that the two of them were bribed by the eldest prince yesterday, and slowly asked: "Did you two tell my brother about my Great Light Fist?" The two hurriedly shook their heads and said: "Your Highness, don't worry, we won't do anything reckless."

The eldest prince only sent people to ask them to report any movement here to the Prince's Mansion.

Didn't ask about the previous situation.

I didn't ask to what extent the Ninth Prince had practiced the Great Light Fist.

I'm afraid no one would have thought that the Ninth Prince could practice the Great Light Fist to such a level.

Although the Ninth Prince will become a royal consort of the Phoenix Dynasty in the future, his future is uncertain.

But with such a martial arts genius, who can say what will happen in the end?

There is no need to be completely offended.

Chu Zhiyuan closed his eyes and said, "Just tell me what Big Brother asks, just pretend you didn't see me perform the Great Light Fist."

"Yes." The two nodded solemnly.

Chu Zhiyuan opened his eyes and glanced at them calmly: "Lu Chaosheng, Lu Junfeng, I should have some adventures when I enter Yujing Cave this time."

"...Then I wish Your Highness many adventures and rapid progress in cultivation." The two looked at each other.

They know that this is a promised benefit.

“Thanks for your good wishes.” Chu Zhiyuan forced a smile and closed his eyes again.

-

At noon, Chu Honglin appeared again.

He held a small box in his hand and handed it to Chu Zhiyuan.

Chu Zhiyuan knew that there were books inside, which contained records about the Great Demon Subduing Seal and the Demon Subduing Mountain.

Chu Zhiyuan then expressed his desire to learn the divine text.

Chu Honglin frowned in thought, then turned and left.

He returned after a while and shook his head helplessly: "The sacred text has been lost and there is no record of it."

"Is there any record at all?" Chu Zhiyuan asked.

“There are some records, but no real sacred text has been written down.”

"What are they?" Chu Zhiyuan perked up.

"It is said that the divine text is powerful. Through the divine text, the power of heaven and earth can be driven. This is also one of the sources of the power of the gods."

"anything else?"

"The divine text requires sufficient strength to be seen clearly and to be spoken. Even if the divine text appears in front of us, we cannot see it clearly or speak of it. In addition, this divine text is not learned, but inherited."

Chu Zhiyuan looked at him in confusion.

Chu Honglin said: "The people of the God Clan do not need to learn the divine text. They know it from birth. It is inherited from their bloodline."

Chu Zhiyuan asked: "Is the divine text in the shape of petals? Layer upon layer?"

"Why, the Great Demon Subduing Seal involves divine texts?"

Chu Zhiyuan said, “It seems that you, Uncle Fifteen, have not read these books about the Demon Subduing Spiritual Mountain… According to records, the disciples of the Demon Subduing Spiritual Mountain chant the divine sound, and it is very likely that they visualize the divine text.”

"So, you learned the divine text?"

"It's probably just a divine text."

"Can the records in the divine text help you better understand the Great Demon Subduing Seal?"

Chu Zhiyuan nodded, and then said: "Uncle Fifteen, does our Great Light Fist have special lethality against the demons?"

"No." Chu Honglin shook his head and sighed, "It can restrain those who practice magic, but it can't restrain the demons, and can't kill them."

The demons are also known as the undead. Even if you kill them, their souls will still be resurrected. Even if you break them into pieces, they can still take over another person's body and be reborn.

Only spiritual-level skills can truly destroy their souls and kill them completely.

The strongest among the demons are the Sky Demons. Even the most spiritual-level techniques cannot kill their souls.

Invisible and traceless, he is best at sneaking into various dynasties and taking over other people's bodies.

Chu Zhiyuan said: "The Great Demon Subduing Seal can restrain them."

“What a pity…” Chu Honglin shook his head: “No one has ever mastered it, so we can only let them run rampant… I’ll go look for the books in the palace to see if there are any divine texts.”

"Thank you, Uncle Fifteen."

Chu Honglin's face darkened: "You can repay me by mastering the Great Demon Subduing Seal... then help me kill a demon kid!"

"Okay." Chu Zhiyuan agreed readily.
